The hard drive I am using in my SAM460ex is one I previously used in my deceased X1000. I had at one time made an attempt or two to install Ubuntu on it, with limited success. But I got to wondering whether I might be able to try to launch them in the SAM, so I took a look at the drive with Media Toolbox and found three partitions named "dhx." The first and third use Filesystem \00\00\00\00 and are both a bit over 93 GB. The middle dhx uses LNX\00 for 0.023 MB. I used to get at one or the other of those with CFE (? The X1000 replacement of UBoot) and I was getting ready to see how I might address those partitions with UBoot.

But while in Media Toolbox I noticed a dh2: and wondered what the heck that was. Info doesn't bring it up under that name, but it turns out to be the partition belonging to a disk item labeled "Empty" on Workbench. Very puzzling. Here is what is in it:

MUI:Seems you have in S: the file mui.key from other user. Did you register/pay for MUI? Not sure but I remember the mui key generator was "lost" or the author doesn't have time to generate such keys and sends a "generic" one.

DH2:Do yuo have such partition automounted (MTB) or mark as hidden from Workbench prefs?

LINUX partitions:On my SAM460ex I have 2 linux partitions. Using MediaToolbox I created 2 'dhx' partitions, LNX\00 is the linux boot partition (40MB) and the other EXT\03 (40GB) is the user/data partition.

I registered years and years ago, and I always copied over my mui.key when necessary. But something apparently happened in September 2015 that led to my getting a different one. I guess it doesn't hurt anything.

Workbench Prefs shows no hidden partitions. DM2 lists both DH2: and Empty: but if I click on "DH2:" up comes a window named "Empty." I don't remember why I have such a partition; at "0% full, 22.9GB free, 15.8MB in use" it's a bit of a waste of space.

I wonder why mine are so different. I'm pretty sure I followed the instructions on the Install disk, or else those of xeno74. Maybe I'll find time today to figure out how to try to boot one of them.

And when you start/launch MediaToolbox whats does it tells about DH2:?Maybe an assign in S-S or U-S, or maybe you have in DEVS:DOSDrivers/ DH2 mountfile? ¿:-/
